Spent a year and a half unemployed and it was the best time of my life. The only part that sucked was the looking and interviewing for jobs part.

They wont. Its irrational but a large group views your car as a drivable hate symbol. Irrationality is kind of how strong emotions work. (Kind of like how truck bois would coal roll and slash the tires of prius owners)

Did they ever restore the old event list or is it still the mostly useless currated list that the steam version launched with?

Still run a team speak server and also run discord. Our teamspeak voice gets a ton more use but people stream on discord the game they are playing. But they still use teamspeak for voice. Because text isn't persistent on TS we use discord for text and a web forum for long term persistence.

They each have their place. If you can make discord work for you in all cases more power to you but we couldn't.

This ts version looks like they are trying to lose the few parts of their consumer base they have left. If we wanted discord for everything we would have already left TS.

Id like to point out there are also some really good mobile apps for lemmy. I use sync for lemmy. Hopefully others will recommend there favorites. There are quite a few good ones!

Going to post this here. Assuming their server doesn't have to work to post this to the federated section on this server...

I know the .ml s are having issues because of the government taking over the .ml domain. But what is going on with sh.itjust.works?

 

Ok, so I get that there are two views on the success of Lemmy. 1, more content = more views = more users signing up. 2, Quality content = more views = more users signing up.

I'm firmly in the #2 category myself but I understand the viewpoint of #1 even if I dont agree with it. For some people #1 might cause them to sign up...

But I dont see how low effort bots creating useless content for content sake is beneficial to this community at all.

Take this link for example... https://lemm.ee/c/youtube_feed

There are hundreds of posts by a youtube crawling bot that just seems to be posting random youtube video links and adding the video title as the post description. Only a handful of the two hundred videos posted have any comments and those are just 1-2 people saying this is useless content.

Now before anyone jumps in and says, you can just block the bot, or block the community or...

Yes I could and I will be. But the problem is when someone new comes to lemmy and randomly selects lemm.ee they are going to be inundated with with these low effort no replay video posts and walk away back to reddit.

I dont know the solution to this either. Obviously someone wants this content since they spent the time to set up a bot and a community and etc. But for the life of me I cant understand why that person wants it.

The stats for the community are interesting too.

185 posts, 28 subscribers (probably 28 repost bots) and 4 comments. **4 ** COMMENTS!

Obviously I'm going to block the community from my feed but It makes for a really bad first time user experience when these bot communities with no interactions are populating the default feed for all new users and guests... Again, I dont know the solution to this either... but it's definitely a problem.
